Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil

Dugu Bo let out a breath of relief and said with lingering fear,

"Whew, little friend, you nearly scared me to death."

Though he said he was willing, he did not want to disgrace the principles he had upheld his entire life.

With a wave of his hand, he directly told everyone,

"Isn't it just a treasured plot of land? I'll trade it."

Afterward,

he led them to the center of Sunset Forest,

where a poison formation covered most of the sky. Purple-black mist drifted within it, making it look especially terrifying.

"This is the poison formation I set up beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Be careful and follow me. Don't wander in by mistake."

Dugu Bo walked at the front and continued,

"I have to say, this poison formation is rather interesting. It looks pretty good," Yue Guan casually praised.

"It mainly relies on the natural environment. This treasured land is also a poisonous land, so naturally there are many highly toxic things here."

Dugu Bo continued, "Little friend, since you want this treasured land, make sure you don't accidentally consume the poisonous herbs inside. Some of them contain toxins that even I can't cure."

"I'll be careful."

Qian Renxin nodded lightly.

Ling Yuan, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei behind him exchanged looks, their faces full of confusion.

They could not understand why the Young Master had come all this way just to trade with Dugu Bo for a patch of poisonous land.

If it was a matter of concentrated Soul Power,

Spirit Hall also had dedicated cultivation grounds, which were not much worse than the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Could it be that the Young Master's Martial Soul was also related to poison?

After entering the poison formation, they found a completely different world inside.

The trees blocked out the sky, while the flowers and grass growing beside the path were bright and eye-catching.

Dugu Bo turned around and asked Qian Renxin,

"Little friend, I've honored the agreement between us. I've given you this treasured land and told you how to break the poison formation outside. Shouldn't my problem be resolved now?"

"That's right. I'll help you solve it now."

Qian Renxin nodded. "Don't you have an Inner Core? I plan to store the toxins inside it, which will also make them easier for you to use in daily life."

"Inner Core?"

Dugu Bo frowned, deeply dissatisfied with that answer.

As a rare Martial Soul, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul naturally had its own unique qualities.

After breaking through the limits of a Titled Douluo, his Martial Soul had evolved into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, allowing him to condense an Inner Core within his body.

Inner Cores were usually something only soul beasts could condense. They offered many benefits, strengthening one's foundation and nourishing one's essence while helping stabilize cultivation and increase strength.

But using it to store toxins... was truly hard to describe.

At the very least, he did not dare try it casually. The Inner Core was extremely important to him. If something went wrong, he would likely suffer serious injuries at the very least.

"Not directly storing them in the Inner Core."

Qian Renxin shook his head and continued, "I can help you evolve your Inner Core and create a better cultivation method for soul masters. Then, your poison will have somewhere to go, and it may even increase your strength considerably."

"...Little friend, are you joking?"

Dugu Bo's expression darkened.

He had only wanted to cure his poison. How had this become entangled with a new cultivation method for soul masters...

Even Ling Yuan and the others looked bewildered.

What other cultivation methods could soul masters have? Wasn't it simply raising one's cultivation and hunting soul rings?

Qian Renxin did not explain too much.

He wanted to use Dugu Bo's method to explore the cultivation method of Soul Cores in advance.

Logically speaking,

the method of cultivating Soul Cores would not be developed until at least ten thousand years later.

If Dugu Bo had been an ordinary Titled Douluo, Qian Renxin would probably have had a hard time helping him form an initial understanding of Soul Cores at this stage.

But Dugu Bo was different.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul allowed him to possess an Inner Core.

It also contained a soul master's Soul Power and strength, making it very similar in concept to a Soul Core. There was no reason not to try. The chances of success were extremely high.

Qian Renxin said calmly,

"Senior Poison, I've placed the opportunity before you. How you choose is up to you."

Dugu Bo thought for a while, pacing back and forth.

In the end, he made up his mind with a hint of reckless resolve. "It's fine, go ahead. Just tell me how I need to cooperate. It's only an Inner Core. At worst, it'll be destroyed and I'll refine another one!"

He openly sat down on the ground, looking like he had already resigned himself to fate.

If his Inner Core were truly destroyed, his cultivation would likely drop significantly, and he would suffer extremely severe injuries.

But in order to completely solve the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison problem, he could only take the risk.

Qian Renxin simultaneously unleashed the Power of Evil Origin in his left hand and the Power of Good Origin in his right, helping Dugu Bo stabilize the fluctuations in his Soul Power.

This was also his initial attempt at creating a Soul Core, making it extremely significant.

If it succeeded,

he could also have Spirit Hall's worship elders gradually try it.

By then, Spirit Hall's strength would rise dramatically!

Semi-Finished Soul Core, Harvesting Immortal Herbs

Condensing a Soul Core required sufficient control over Soul Power and spiritual power.

In terms of total Soul Power and spiritual power,

Dugu Bo, as a Titled Douluo, certainly met the requirements. With Qian Renxin assisting him in controlling his Soul Power,

it could be said that the conditions for forming a Soul Core were basically all in place.

"Gather all the Soul Power in your body at your middle dantian, which is where your Inner Core is located."

Qian Renxin assisted from the side and continued, "You need to condense your Soul Power in the dantian. Use high-speed rotation to gradually solidify it, cover the Inner Core with it, then slowly refine the Inner Core."

"I'll handle the rotation. Use your spiritual power to gather the Soul Power and keep it from dispersing."

"I understand..."

Dugu Bo immediately entered meditation and mobilized all the Soul Power in his body toward his dantian.

At the same time, Qian Renxin used the Powers of Good and Evil Origin. The two opposing forces mixed into Dugu Bo's Soul Power.

Within the ocean-like Soul Power,

these two forces seemed so tiny, like a lone boat on the sea, yet they could stir the Soul Power into violent rotation.

These were Origin Powers at the God King level.

Though they had been weakened significantly upon descending to the lower realm, they were still the most supreme powers. Ordinary Titled Douluo Soul Power could not compare to them.

Dugu Bo faced it as if confronting a great enemy, immediately using all his focus to control his Soul Power and prevent it from collapsing.

The gaseous Soul Power gradually condensed into liquid, swirling around the Inner Core like a real river.

After another period of condensation, part of the Soul Power gradually turned into particles, little by little sticking to the Inner Core.

How amazing... Soul Power can actually change like this?

Dugu Bo was shocked inwardly.

Before this, he had never seen Soul Power compressed to such a state.

About thirty minutes later,

the Soul Power had completely condensed into a solid, merging with the Inner Core and constantly rotating within the dantian.

"Looks like it's half-successful..."

Qian Renxin sat up with some regret.

The true capabilities of a Soul Core should have been far greater than the semi-crystalline object inside Dugu Bo's body.

But he had already reached his limit.

With his current degree of mastery over the two Origin Powers, he simply could not rotate them into a fully formed crystal.

As for Dugu Bo himself, he had no experience with Soul Cores at all. It was already impressive that he could use his spiritual power to keep the Soul Power from dispersing.

"My Soul Power is actually replenishing itself..."

Dugu Bo was overjoyed.

He had never seen anything so miraculous.

His previous Inner Core could only store power and strengthen his foundation.

But the emerald-green semi-crystal in his dantian not only had storage capacity several times greater than before, it could even automatically replenish his Soul Power. It was simply a combat treasure for soul masters!

Seeing the delight on his face,

Qian Renxin interjected,

"Go move the toxins in your body into it. Refine it into a Poison Soul Core as soon as possible, and your problem should be resolved."

"Thank you for the reminder, little friend! This Old Man will never forget this favor!"

Dugu Bo grinned from ear to ear and hurried toward the wooden cabin where he usually cultivated in seclusion.

With this thing called a Soul Core, let's see who still dares call me the weakest Titled Douluo!

Yue Guan curiously stepped forward and asked,

"Young Master, what does that thing called a Soul Core that you made for Old Poison Master do? Why does he look so happy?"

"A Soul Core is a Soul Power crystal that exists in a soul master's dantian. Under normal circumstances, only Titled Douluo are qualified to condense one."

Qian Renxin stood up and continued explaining, "A Soul Core can hold a vast amount of Soul Power for a soul master to use, allowing them to possess Soul Power far beyond that of soul masters at the same level. It can also continuously absorb and replenish Soul Power, strengthen spirit abilities, and more."

After saying that, he added an excuse for himself. "This is also one of the inheritances bestowed upon me by a deity."

Yue Guan raised his delicate brows.

According to Qian Renxin, weren't the abilities of this Soul Core simply too heaven-defying...

Even Titled Douluo found it difficult to avoid exhausting their Soul Power.

Abilities like the Eighth Spirit Ability and Ninth Spirit Ability consumed no small amount of Soul Power. In a single battle, they could be used at most once or twice.

And being able to use one more time was basically enough to raise one's combat strength by an entire level.

This could practically overturn the entire Soul Master World!

Yet none of the three doubted the truth of Qian Renxin's words.

The Power of a Deity remained a legend even now.

That an inheritance passed down by a deity could overturn the entire continent was nothing strange.

"Young Master, Young Master, then can I condense a Soul Core too?"

Spirit Kite Douluo, who craved strength, rushed over excitedly and eagerly asked, "Like Poison Douluo, I'm also a level ninety-one Titled Douluo."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei also looked at Qian Renxin expectantly.

Their combat power was not particularly high among soul masters of the same level. They had relied on their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to retain their positions as the First Elder and Second Elder,
